Su Wan said that Su Yue'e had stolen her marriage, but Su Yue'e couldn't stand to hear that.

Although her mother and father helped her get this marriage, she is now the one marrying into the Zhao family in the capital, so of course she thinks it is all justified.

If Su Wan hadn't brought it up, she would have almost forgotten how this marriage came about.

"So what?" Su Yue'e said matter-of-factly. "Anyway, I will be the lady of the Marquis's mansion from now on, and you will spend your whole life with that sickly man. Ah, who knows when that sickly man will die. You won't even have a son or daughter then, which would be quite pitiful."

Su Wan nodded in agreement, "I'm not as good as my cousin in this respect."

Upon hearing this, Su Yue'e involuntarily puffed out her chest. "Good to know."

Su Wan's lips twitched. She said quietly, "She's already a mother before even entering the family. It's nice to have someone to take care of her once she's married."

"You're talking nonsense!" Su Yue'e cursed angrily. "Su Wan, what nonsense are you spouting! How could Young Master Zhao possibly have a child? I know you're just trying to disgust me because you're unwilling to let me take your place in the marriage. But I, Su Yue'e, am not that stupid. I'm telling you today, I won't fall for this kind of low-level sowing!"

Although she said that, she was tightly clutching the silk handkerchief in her hand and looking at Madam Yang standing to the side.

A hint of unease flashed across Yang's face. She glared at Su Wan fiercely before offering words of comfort.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. Would your mother harm you?" She took Su Yue'e's hand and said, "So what if that young master Zhao has a son born out of wedlock? He can't surpass you anyway. Besides, it's all just baseless rumors."

After hearing what Yang said, Su Yue'e finally let go of the silk handkerchief in her hand.

Her own mother obviously wouldn't lie to her, otherwise she wouldn't have taken away Su Wan's marriage and forced her to marry into that family.

What kind of family is the Zhao family? It's a noble family. Although she didn't marry the heir apparent, he was still the second son of the Marquis of Pingyang.

Su Wan must be jealous of her, trying to make her give up the marriage. She won't fall for it!

Su Wan smiled gently.

When the original owner passed by Yang's room, she overheard Yang and Su Heng talking. It was then that she learned that the person she was going to marry already had a child.

Such prominent families are very particular about rules; before the principal wife enters the household, it is absolutely forbidden for the family to have any children born out of wedlock.

The fact that the Zhao family could produce a son born out of wedlock shows what kind of family they are.

However, Yang did keep this a secret from Su Yue'e, all for the sake of that immense wealth.

For someone like Su Yue'e to marry into a noble family in the capital, it would be lucky if she wasn't plotted against and killed.

As for her, she wouldn't be foolish enough to become someone's unwitting mother.

Madam Yang glared angrily at Su Wan. Just as she was about to rebuke her, a maid arrived with Su Yuze.

Upon seeing her younger brother arrive, Su Wan became too lazy to waste her breath arguing with them.

She stepped forward and took Su Yuze's hand, asking with concern, "Is your brother hurt? Where exactly did Madam Yang take you?"

When Su Yuze saw Su Wan, he felt ashamed when he thought about how his second aunt had taken him away last night. He felt that he was too useless and had not done such a small thing well, causing his sister to have to get married today.

His voice was low, and he looked dejected.

"Sister, Second Aunt sent me to the neighbor's. I didn't suffer, don't worry."

Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief and pulled him back: "Come back to the courtyard with me first."

Since the Yang family didn't see the jade pendant, how could they let them leave?

She called out to Su Wan, "Stop. You've seen the person, shouldn't you keep your promise to me from last night?"

When the servants saw that Madam Yang was blocking her way, they immediately chased after her and surrounded Su Wan, making it clear that she wouldn't be able to leave without handing over something.

Su Yuze looked furious, clenching his little fists, but Su Wan held him down and gave him a reassuring look.

Su Wan turned to Madam Yang and said, "I forgot to tell you, I hid it somewhere else, not in the manor. If you want it, I can only go out and get it for you now."

The jade pendant hanging around her neck was probably what Yang had been longing to obtain, but she would never give it to Yang.

To prevent any accidents, she simply used her consciousness to move the jade pendant into the apartment before walking outside with peace of mind.

How could Yang let her leave? She shouted, "Stop right there! Tell me where that thing is, and I'll send someone to get it."

Su Wan stopped, looking worried: "Only I can go and get that thing; I'm afraid anyone else won't be able to find it."

Yang choked back, "If you don't tell me, how will you know I can't find it? If you don't leave your things here today, don't even think about taking Su Yuze away!"

That jade pendant was something that the noble person had repeatedly instructed her to obtain, and she absolutely could not let Su Wan leave like this.

“Alright, since you want to know, I’ll tell you the truth,” she said with a hint of helplessness. “Actually, I pawned that thing.”

Upon hearing this, Ms. Yang nearly fainted.

"You! You! You!" she pointed at Su Wan, "You lied to me."

Su Wan's expression turned serious, and she said sternly, "What kind of life have I been living in this mansion? I'm dressed worse than a servant, and I often don't know where my next meal will come from. If you hadn't treated me so badly, why would I have pawned the jade pendant my mother left me!"

After saying that, she left with Su Yuze without looking back.

"Where did you sell the jade pendant?" Madam Yang persisted, following behind her and pressing for an answer.

"The Brocade Pavilion in Youzhou City".

Madam Yang simply did not believe it. Su Wan was brought back from Youzhou by Su Heng when she was thirteen years old, and she had never left home since. How could she have sold the jade pendant to Youzhou?

"You're talking nonsense, you've never even been to Youzhou..."
